Arizona Overwhelmingly Adopts Health Care Initiative
Authors: Andrew W. Nichols
Journal: JAMA (1997)

On November 5, 1996, the voters of Arizona overwhelmingly approved Proposition 203—the Healthy Arizona Initiative. Largely unnoticed amid publicity surrounding other propositions in Arizona and elsewhere (such as the legalization of certain drugs in Arizona and California), the Healthy Arizona Initiative stands out for what it will do to improve health care access. More important, it serves as testimony to what concerned citizens can do to establish sound health care policy when policymakers refuse to do so. Given lack of support by the political leadership of Arizona, the Healthy Arizona Initiative is a tribute to citizen action. There are 3 methods that citizens can use to affect policy decisions outside the current representational framework—the initiative, the referendum, and the recall. Although a form of the referendum has existed since the birth of the nation as a method of constitutional ratification, the current forms of citizen-led policymaking evolved from the Populist
Apgar Quartet Plays Perinatologist's Instruments
Authors: Andrew A. Skolnick
Journal: JAMA (1996)

IN MAY 1996, a group of pediatricians acquired and then donated 4 special musical instruments to Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City. The instruments—a viola, cello, violin, and mezzo violin— were crafted by perinatology pioneer Virginia Apgar, MD (1909-1974). The donation will allow music lovers at the medical college to play tribute to one of the most remarkable physicians and women of the 20th century. This gift has made possible the establishment of the Apgar Memorial String Quartet, which can be heard performing at Columbia and occasionally elsewhere at gatherings of pediatricians and perinatologists. One such venue was the annual meeting of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) held in Boston, Mass, in October. The establishment of the quartet was due in large part to the efforts of L. Joseph Butterfield, MD, a professor of pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, Denver,
Results of Radical Prostatectomy in Men With Clinically Localized Prostate Cancer
Authors: Glenn S. Gerber
Journal: JAMA (1996)

<h3>Objective.</h3> —To assess the results of radical prostatectomy in men with early prostate cancer. <h3>Design.</h3> —Retrospective, nonrandomized, multi-institutional pooled analysis. <h3>Setting.</h3> —Eight university medical centers in the United States and Europe. <h3>Patients.</h3> —A total of 2758 men with stage T1 and T2 prostatic cancer. <h3>Main Outcome Measures.</h3> —Disease-specific and metastasis-free survival rates. <h3>Results.</h3> —Tumor grade was the most important preoperative factor in determining outcome. Disease-specific survival 10 years following surgery and associated 95% confidence intervals were 94% (range, 87%-98%), 80% (range, 74%-85%), and 77% (range, 65%-86%) for those men with grade 1, 2, and 3 tumors, respectively. Metastasis-free survival at 10 years was 87% (range, 78%-92%), 68% (range, 62%-73%), and 52% (range, 38%-64%) for patients with grade 1, 2, and 3 cancers, respectively. <h3>Conclusions.</h3> —Radical prostatectomy leads to high 10-year disease-specific survival rates in men with all tumor grades. However, caution is needed in comparing these results with similar studies of alternative treatment strategies, such as watchful waiting, due to the inherent potential biases in uncontrolled trials. Nevertheless, these results offer the best currently available estimates of 10-year outcome of radical prostatectomy in men with clinically localized prostate cancer and may be useful in counseling patients with early malignancy.
POS0064 EPIDEMIOLOGY OF INTERSTITIAL LUNG DISEASE IN SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS IN FRANCE: A NATION-WIDE POPULATION-BASED STUDY OVER 10 YEARS
Authors: A. Mageau, R. Borie, B. Crestani, J. F. Timsit, T. Papo, K. Sacre
Journal: Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases (2022)

Background Data regarding interstitial lung disease (ILD) in the setting of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are limited Objectives We used a nation-wide database to determine the incidence and the prevalence of ILD in SLE patients. Methods Characteristics of all SLE inpatients admitted between 2011 and 2012 in France were analyzed through the French medico-administrative database. Features associated with the presence of ILD were studied. Cox proportional hazard model was used to look for the impact of ILD on survival from the first stay to 2020. The incidence rate of ILD in SLE was estimated by analysing the onset of ILD from 2013 to 2020 in SLE patients who had no evidence of ILD in 2013. Results Between 2011 and 2012, 10 460 SLE patients had at least one hospital stay and could be traced until 2020. Among them, 134 (1.2%) had an ILD diagnosed at baseline. The frequency of ILD in SLE was higher in patients who had an associated autoimmune disease – such as Sjögren’s syndrome or systemic sclerosis (29.9% vs 5.9%; p&lt; 0.0001). ILD was associated with an increased risk of death in SLE after adjustment on comorbidities in the multivariable analysis (HR [CI95] 1.992 [1.420-2.794]; p &lt;0.0001). Among the 31 029 SLE patients with no evidence of ILD at baseline, ILD occurred in 795 SLE patients (2.6%) between 2013 and 2020. The incidence rate of ILD in SLE was 10.26 for 1000 patient-years [CI95: 10.24-10.28]. Conclusion In SLE, ILD is exceedingly rare, often associated with another systemic autoimmune disorder and appears as a major risk factor for death.

Ocular Gonococcal Infection With Minimal or No Inflammatory Response
Authors: John K. Podgore
Journal: JAMA (1981)

THE SEVERITY and complications of ocular gonococcal infection are well recognized. The incubation period in neonates is one to three days, with the appearance of a profuse purulent conjunctival discharge accompanied by marked edema and hyperemia of the eyelids<sup>1</sup>by five days after exposure. Cases with incubation periods up to 19 days have been reported after inoculation of the eye with urine contaminated by gonococci, but a marked exudative response occurred with the onset of symptoms.<sup>2</sup>Rapid diagnosis and treatment are thought essential to prevent serious ocular damage. The conjunctival inflammatory reaction may be complicated by extension and penetration into the corneal epithelium. Corneal involvement has been regarded as a common feature of untreated cases. There has been increasing evidence that<i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i>may colonize the genital tract, anal canal, and oropharynx without producing symptoms or signs of inflammation. However, ocular gonococcal infection or colonization with minimal or
Renal Transplantation Between Adults and Children
Authors: Sherman J. Silber
Journal: JAMA (1974)

There is an impressive but purely compensatory growth response of the child's kidney transplanted into the uremic adult, but no hypertrophy or hypotrophy of the adult's kidney in the uremic child. Two separate types of renal growth seem to occur. Compensatory hypertrophic growth is a rapid reversible response to a functional nephron deficit. Obligatory growth occurs as one grows up, and is not reversible. (<i>JAMA</i>228:1143-1145, 1974)
Crocodile bites and traditional beliefs in Korogwe District, Tanzania
Authors: R. Scott, H. Scott
Journal: BMJ (1994)

<h3>Abstract</h3> <b>Objectives</b>: To investigate why fatal crocodile bites are increasing in a Tanzanian district and the importance of traditional beliefs and superstitions in determining the residents9 response to the crocodiles. <b>Design</b>: Information about beliefs was obtained by interview of Korogwe residents. Human and crocodile fatality statistics were obtained from the Korogwe Department of Natural Resources. <b>Setting</b>: Villages within Korogwe District. Subjects—Population of Korogwe District. <b>Results</b>: Crocodiles have been responsible for 51 deaths in the 52 months from January 1990 to April 1994. Of these, 18 deaths occurred in the first four months of 1994. <b>Conclusions</b>: Local beliefs and superstitions about crocodiles include those about the taming of animals, with implications concerning the choice of victim and the penalties that may ensue if a crocodile is killed. The recent rise in human fatalities is thought to relate to increasing river pollution reducing the fish supply, together with a change in social mores at the riverside which has increased the crocodiles9 displeasure. A reliable pumped water supply would reduce the need to draw water and bathe in the river, and eradication of superstition would empower the villagers in the fight against a common enemy.
Efficacy of Intratumorally Administered Mycobacterial Cell Walls in the Treatment of Cattle With Ocular Carcinoma&lt;xref ref-type="fn" rid="FN2"&gt;2&lt;/xref&gt;&lt;xref ref-type="fn" rid="FN3"&gt;3&lt;/xref&gt;&lt;xref ref-type="fn" rid="FN4"&gt;4&lt;/xref&gt;

Journal: JNCI Journal of the National Cancer Institute (1981)

Individual Hereford cows with naturally occurring ocular squamous cell carcinoma were treated by intralesional injections of mycobacterial cell walls in an oil-in-water emulsion. Six of 23 treated animals were alive (5 free of tumor and 1 with arrested disease) at a minimum of 2.5 years after treatment, as compared to 1 of 18 controls. At necropsy, lymph node metastases were found in most animals with progressive disease. The disease progressed to an advanced stage (which required death of the animals) at a faster rate for control animals than for treated animals.
Night Sweats: Two Other Causes
Authors: Dennis S. Gordon
Journal: JAMA (1994)

<h3>To the Editor.</h3> —Although it is rarely seen by generalists, posttraumatic spinal cord syrinx should be mentioned as an additional cause of apparent night sweats to round out the possibilities mentioned by Smetana.<sup>1</sup> A young man with a spinal cord injury was referred to our physiatry practice after an extensive, unrevealing workup by an infectious disease specialist. The night sweats turned out, on further questioning, to be positional, and the tentative diagnosis of syrinx was made. Magnetic resonance imaging scans confirmed an extensive cavity, not unexpected years after injury. Infections are common in patients with spinal cord injuries, but as Smetana notes, a careful description of the night sweats can be critical to an appropriate evaluation.

Diaphragm Use and Urinary Tract Infection
Authors: B. A. Peddie, S. I. Gorrie, R. R. Bailey
Journal: JAMA (1986)

<h3>To the Editor.—</h3> We were most interested to read the article by Fihn et al<sup>1</sup>reporting that women using a diaphragm for contraception have an increased incidence of urinary tract infection. As Dr Fihn and colleagues<sup>1</sup>pointed out, we had earlier reported<sup>2</sup>that women using diaphragms for contraception more frequently had gramnegative bacilli isolated from vaginal swabs and suggested that this may provide a source for ascending gramnegative urinary tract infections. We also noted a higher rate of isolation of gram-positive cocci from the vaginal swabs of women using intrauterine contraceptive devices. Since our initial study<sup>2</sup>we have cultured the urine of 320 women attending a family planning center toassess whether those using diaphragms or intrauterine contraceptive devices have a higher prevalence of asymptomatic urinary tract infection. The results are summarized in the Table. Those women using diaphragms had a statistically higher incidence of asymptomatic
Laetrile-Induced Agranulocytosis
Authors: Kenneth B. Liegner
Journal: JAMA (1981)

PROPONENTS of laetrile claim it is beneficial and safe. Opponents point to the lack of proof of its efficacy, the delay in seeking more effective therapy its use may entail, and the risk of death or illness from cyanide poisoning resulting from its use. We report the case of a patient in whom agranulocytosis developed, apparently due to laetrile. <h3>Report of a Case</h3> On May 10, 1980, a 61-year-old woman who had been treating herself with laetrile for five years was admitted to Greenwich (Conn) Hospital because of sudden onset of rigors with fever (temperature to 39.4 °C). She had had a simple right mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection for infiltrating ductal carcinoma in 1966. In 1975 a second primary developed and she underwent a left modified radical mastectomy, followed by a course of fluorouracil. She received five doses of 500 mg intravenously during June and July 1975, but
Laboratory Vibrio cholerae Infection in the United States
Authors: Thomas W. Sheehy
Journal: JAMA (1966)

This report concerns the first cases of<i>Vibrio cholerae</i>infection reported in the United States since 1911. The infections were acquired accidentally by two laboratory technicians who had not been immunized previously with cholera vaccine. Mild clinical symptoms were observed in the first patient to become ill but in the second patient, the clinical symptoms were fulminating. Little microscopic evidence of an acute enteritis was found on examination of specimens of small-bowel mucosa taken from these two patients during the acute phase of their<i>V cholerae</i>infections but intravillous capillary dilatation was marked so that grossly the bowel mucosa was hyperemic in appearance. An in vivo change was observed in the antigenicity of the infecting strain of V cholerae (Inaba to Ogawa) during the course of the infections.
Panencephalitis Following Measles Vaccination
Authors: Cheng, T. Cho
Journal: JAMA (1973)

<h3>To the Editor.—</h3> We read with interest the report by Landrigan and Witte (223:1459, 1973) concerning the neurologic disorders following live measlesvirus vaccination. According to their records from 1963 through 1971, only one case of suspected subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) occurred within one month after live measles-virus vaccination in the United States. Recently, we have observed a child with SSPE who had a previous history of measles-virus vaccination five years earlier. <h3>Report of a Case.—</h3> A 10-year-old white boy had a stumbling gait and deterioration of school performance. Initial neurological examination revealed slow mentation and mild gait dystonia. Over the next three months, progressive dystonia, myoclonic jerks, and bilateral spasticity, especially of the lower extremities, developed, with progressive intellectual deterioration and feeding difficulty. An electroencephalogram revealed periodic bursts of bilaterally synchronous spike-wave activity. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein level was 32 mg/100 ml with an elevated gamma globulin fraction of 33%

Nitrous Oxide Analgesia for Refractory Pain in the Terminally III
Authors: Martin T. Fosburg
Journal: JAMA (1983)

Nitrous oxide analgesia was used in the management of the terminal hospitalization of four adolescents and one child with disseminated cancer. All patients had severe pain that was unresponsive to standard regimens of narcotics and various narcotic analgesia-stimulant combinations. In each case, the addition of nitrous oxide led to an obvious improvement in symptoms of pain, anxiety, and agitation, while simultaneously improving appetite, mood, and the capacity to communicate. There were no side effects except those related to the discomfort of wearing a mask. Acceptance of the procedure by patient, family, and staff was universal and enthusiastic. The procedure is safe, easily administered, and noninvasive. Nitrous oxide can be useful in managing terminal illness refractory to standard pain control measures. (<i>JAMA</i>1983;250:511-513)
